CDC Admits Flu Vaccine Failed 91% of the Time Against Current Flu Strain
Spread the love
Every year, the Centers for Disease Control releases its data on how
effective the flu vaccine has been for the previous season, and nearly
every year, the numbers are disappointing. Once again, doctors are now
expressing their disappointment over the latest flu vaccine with the
release of the CDC’s new data.
This year’s flu vaccine
“failed miserably” according to the CDC due to a current flu strain that showed up halfway through the season.
As ABC 7 reports, in fact —
the agency rated its effectiveness at just 9% against that strain and the overall effectiveness for the entire season at 29%.
And this is the case nearly every year. Despite this terrible track
record of not working, every year, the CDC continues to urge everyone to
get the flu shot. What’s more,
according to ABC News,
vaccines against most infectious diseases are not considered successful
unless they are at least 90% effective. Due to the flu virus’ ability
to change so quickly, vaccine effectiveness usually averages around 40%.
Since the United States has never seen a 90% effective rate, the flu vaccine has never been considered successful.
